Airports in Denver

Overview

One of the largest and busiest airports in the US, Denver
International Airport is a perfectly situated airport with huge
windows giving passengers a chance to enjoy the magnificent view of
the nearby Rocky Mountains. A modern facility with plenty of
shopping and dining opportunities, the attractive terminal is
itself designed to resemble those snow-capped peaks, a fact obvious
as one approaches the airport by car or plane.

A major US air traffic hub, Denver International Airport
processes more than 20 million people each year on flights to
destinations across North America and Europe. Located 25 miles
(40km) from downtown Denver, the airport is a great introduction to

Colorado.
